Description
Delicious Red Velvet Cookie Bars with a rich, velvety texture and creamy white chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the cookie bars later.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, ensuring a smooth and creamy mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Stir in the red food coloring until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips if you’re using them.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan before slicing into bars.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature, with a drizzle of cream cheese icing for extra sweetness.
